HOMECOMING
My macaronic title (meaning
"Look at homecoming") is meant
to point out the strange fact that
homecoming brings to mind phrases
in Latin, a language few college
graduates know. Most of us know we
are returning to our alma mater at
this time of year, but do most of us
know that this means our foster or
nourishing mother? And every year
we hear, sometimes even from a
podium, that Brother so-and-so is
"an alumni" of CBC. If he is, the
poor so-and-so is schizophrenic, for
alumni is a plural form.
Does this confusion ovet meanings extend to the word homecoming?
That is, do we alumni really feel at
home at CBC after a year or more
away? After all, the freshmen now
seem absurdly young, and our former
classmates seem absurdly old.
But to this alumnus, the Latin
terms themselves symbolize that
homecoming at CBC really is a coming home. Concerning the first
term, my alma mater gave me a new
life, a life of continuing educational
pursuit, by introducing me to the
world of ideas that shape men's
lives and to the wotld of men who
sha.e ideas. She nourished me for
a purposeful role in God's kingdom
work.
The second term, alumnus, means
"foster child." As an alumnus of
CBC. I look back upon the college
as a foster home that foreshadowed
our real, because eternal, home in
heaven. At CBC I was a foster child
among foster children, participating
in a fellowship that was a foretaste
of heavenly fellowship and in a service that was a foretaste of heavenly
service. There was plenty to remind
-fhnrou label
from fHatttera
us that CBC wasn't heaven, but it
was home enough to establish Christian friendships that will endure beyond the grave.
So to me, even though I work
here all year, homecoming at CBC
is a coming home to my alma matet
and to my many brothets and sisters.

SENIOR GIFT
Campus chimes will be heard at
CBC through a gift of the Class of
1969. At their last class meeting,
seniors voted to present a bell and
chimes to the school.
The chimes will be opetated by
a clock and may be played at definite hours of the day and for special occasions, such as candlelight
ceremonies or as a victory bell after
games.
